Which relationship is more likely to work out, be compatible?

Neither. Two stable adults who are of similar age are the most likely to work out and be compatible.

The one around your age.
Seriously, you go through so much development in your teens and 20's, you really don't have anything in common with someone who's in their 30's.
Given the types of dudes that much older who go after women that young, they will likely lose interest in you when you're older, and move on.

The dude with potential depends, in terms of starting a family. He can't say for certain if he will be successful or not.
If you want a stable relationship, emotionally, mentally, financially, you're better off sticking to people around your age, but just keeping in mind you can change your mind later. If the kid drops out of college and starts losing a grip, you don't have to stay. You can find someone else.

Not enough information. Either could be the better choice depending on other factors.

The wiser choice is to go for a girl your age.

Depends. I'm a guy, 28, fairly established though I graduated late. Because of this I've typically been with younger girls (early 20s). Some of which I had somewhat of a connection with, and some where there was a distinct culture gap. I won't get too long winded with this, but my advice is that if you (assuming you are the female in this) have any semblance of goals for yourself, do yourself a favor and stick to guys your age. You've just become an adult. There is still a lot to experience. I feel you don't really come into your own until your mid twenties. This older dude is probably going to want kids at least within the next few years, and that can be a strain if that's not in the cards for you for awhile. With that said, if you *want* kids right now, and you want to be a housewife within the next few years, by all means go for the older dude. You may regret that in 10 years though.

Someone as close to your age as possible. Along with divorce, the chances of children having disorders such as autism increase with the size of the age gap. Chances of disorders like dwarphism and schizophrenia increase with paternal age. You'll be able to date someone your age for longer before you get married and have children, further reducing the risk of divorce.
